9.What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door?How about having it brought to you by a robot?Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU,that just became a reality!On March 8,the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane,Australia.
The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino's Pizza Australia and Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics.The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4miles an hour can cross a distance of up to 12miles and back,before requiring a battery recharge.LIDAR,a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars,enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles,while traditional sensors,much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.
The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.
Equipped with both Google Maps and GPS guidance,DRU can navigate bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination.Since the robot does not have to deal with road traffic,it could potentially make deliveries a lot quicker than humans.To access their food,customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company.This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza,but also prevents the pies from getting stolen en route.
Though Domino's has thus far built just a single prototype(样机),they expect additional DRU to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months.But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon.According to Domino's the DRU still needs extensive testing,which the company believes could take up to two years.
And then there is also the problem of regulations.The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries.But Don Meij,the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd,is not worried.One day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family."We for one cannot wait!

28.The first paragraph is mainly used toC.
A.comment              B.praise          C.introduce         D.conclude
29.How can DRU detect and avoid obstacles?B
A.By navigating bike paths and sidewalks
B.By using a laser-based sensor technology
C.By being equipped with both Google Maps and GPS-guidance
D.By using traditional sensors,much like those used in vacuum robots
30.What must a customer do to get the food delivered by DRU?D
A.He/She should press their finger on a fingerprint scanner
B.He/She should let the robot recognize his/her face
C.He/She should scan the QR (quick response) code on the robot
D.He/She should enter a cod supplied by the company
31.What can we know from the last two paragraphsA
A.The DRU requires to be tested further
B.Domino's has built a few kinds of such a robot
C.Don Meij is the CEO of Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics
D.The public use of autonomous vehicles is allowed in most parts of Australia.

19.Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it's not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values,experts put us in three categories.They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail.
The ant works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store  food for winter,these people don't care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket  fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings.When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.
29.People with the character of the snail would like toC.
A.enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B.put work before everything else
C.live a luxury life at all costs
D.take the risk of investing a large sum of money

20.The people below are all looking for a place for different purposes.After the description of these people,there is information about six places A-F.Decide which place would be most suitable for the person mentioned in questions 36-40 and then mark the correct (A-F) on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph about one place which you do not need to use.
(36)F.Smith is a professor who does research on ancient buildings.He has been to many historical sites and discovered a lot valuable study materials.This month,his university gives a reward to him for his great contributions.So now an idea of traveling to a new place to continue his study has come into his mind.
(37)E.Though Lola is a woman reporter,she is brave enough to go deep into the places at war.This year,she was honored as"Rose of Front",which made her very proud of herself.Next month,she will go to a place at war,she is confident to do her work well and give people the most brief and real reports.
(38)A.Alice and Simon are going to get married.They want to hold an underwater wedding in a special place,which has beautiful scenery,silver sand and delicious seafood and luxurious hotels,where they can enjoy themselves.

(40)B.Tom is really depressed these days.Owing to his bad management,his company closed.He wants to go to a place to try his fortune so that he can start his business again in the near future.

A.Mauritius,an island lying off the southeast Africa in the Indian Ocean,which is rich in    history,natural beauty and culture.The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provides the perfect setting to enjoy everything.The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef.This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving.The large number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing.
B.Las Vegas is really a fascinated city,where you can dine in the finest restaurants,shop in the most chic stores,and watch world-class entertainment,among them,the most attractive thing is gambling.Maybe you will become a millionaire or lose all your money overnight.What's so clever about Las Vegas is that it makes absolutely certain that you have such a good time you don't mind losing a bit of money along the way; that's why they don't even call it"gambling"anymore,but"gaming".
C.Few cities leave the visitors with such vivid impressions,the whole city is something of a work of art,the quiet River Seine,the Eiffel Tower,Palais du Louvre and so on are really feast to your eyes.And annual film festival is held with a refreshing emphasis on art.Few cities can compete with the thousands of cafés,bars and restaurants that line every Parisian street.And along the street you will be fascinated by the beautiful window shows of various clothes.

E.As the cultural centre and biggest centre and biggest city in the region,Jerusalem is regarded as a holy place by Jews,Muslims and Christians.For Jews,it is where their ancestors built the first and second temples.Muslims knew it as the place where the Prophet(先知) Mohammed passed up to heaven.For Christians the city was the scene of Jesus'life.However,since the war broke out,people there have suffered a lot,the situation has been tense,and peace is just a dream.
F.The old Nile brought about the civilization of Egypt; people there regard it as"the mother river"of them.On both sides of the Nile stand noble pyramids which were built as the tombs of the ancient pharaohs(法老).And the constructions are beyond people's imagination.Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt,the Great Sphinx is one of the greatest and most studied monuments of human history.
4.In this section we consider what you can do to train your brain to improve your game playing skills.
1.Daily workout
It is very easy to find tactical puzzles and train.However,you must try to solve them.Don't just stare at the position for 10seconds and then turn to the solution.You won't learn anything.Have a go at trying to solve the puzzle.If you got it right then great----well done.However,if you got it wrong,then have another look.Ask yourself questions such as the following:
•Why did I get it wrong?
•What was wrong with my solution?
•What was the weakness that the tactic exploited?
Where can you find tactical puzzles?
It's easy.They are everywhere.Many newspapers,including Independent,and magazines have a daily or weekly chess puzzle.Key"chess puzzles"into Google and you'll find a whole load of them.There are plenty of puzzle books.
2.Use software
Nowadays chess software is terribly cheap.World Champion Vladimir Kramnik recently lost a match 4-2against a software program.This program is available for about£30.
In general,people use chess software for the wrong reasons.They often play game after game against the machine and get beaten every time.Bored with this,they turn the playing level right down so that the program is almost playing random moves and then they can beat it every time and feel better.
Neither method will help you improve.However,chess software can be a fantastically useful learning tool if used in two particular ways.
The first is if you have tried to solve a puzzle but it's a bit too difficult and you don't really understand the solution.Never mind----well done for trying.Now set the position up on the program and try different moves.Chess software is faultless at tactical play.It will instantly tell you the right and wrong moves and why they do or don't work.
Secondly you can run over games you have played to learn where you have gone wrong and where you could have improved.Get into the habit of keeping the score (i.e.writing down the moves) of games that you play.This will help you to improve and refine your understanding of tactical themes and patterns.

56.What would be the best title of this passage?D
A.How to Train Your Brain
B.Where to Find Tactical Puzzles
C.Daily Workout and Use of Software

B.puzzles showing us how to train our brains to think more effectively
C.puzzles teaching us some skills to play more difficult games
D.puzzles only teaching us how to play chess games well
58.Which of the following would be the right way of using chess software?C
A.Playing as many games against the machine as possible.
B.Always trying difficult puzzles to improve your chess skills.
C.Running over games you've played to learn from mistakes and improve.
D.Turning the playing level down to build your self confidence and feel better.

C.Chess software is a fantastically useful learning tool in daily work.
D.Chess software helps improve understanding of tactical themes and patterns.
1.On my first visit to Chennai,India,I met a really nice girl called Uma on the plane.Talking with Uma stopped me from feeling sleepy,and made the long flight from the US go by much faster.
When we arrived in Chennai,I learned that my bags had somehow not made the trip with the plane.As I filled out the missing baggage forms,I couldn't help noticing the mountain of unclaimed baggage in a corner of the airport.It was Saturday morning.The officials had told me there was no point in checking to see if my bags had arrived until Monday.As I stood there,wondering what to do next,Uma came over.Learning of my situation,she said,"My driver will soon be here to pick me up.Come home with me!"
We went out and saw a crowd of people waiting for their loved ones.Within minutes,Uma said,"There's our car!"We piled into the small car,already crowded with family members who had come to welcome Uma home.
At the house,Uma's family fed me with delicious Indian food and took me on tours of their city.On Monday morning,their driver took me to the airport,where I was happy to find my bags.
The following year,I returned to India,and my first stop was to visit Uma and her family.What a gift here kindness was!In my very first moment on Indian soil,I learned an important lesson about the soul of the Indian people.
Uma's friendship towards a stranger began the trip of a lifetime.Everywhere I went,I met the warm,generous spirit of the Indian people.Uma had began a chain reaction that I did my best to pass on,wherever I went.

    While I sat thinking about what had happened,a small girl came up to me.She stared with unembarrassed (28)B at the empty trousers.Finding nothing there,she looked up at me with a(29)D look,and childishly asked,"Lady,where did your legs go?"
    I explained that my legs had been sick.Since my legs hadn't been strong and healthy like hers,the doctors had to (30)C them.Leaning her head upwards,she asked,"Did they go to'Leg Heaven'?"
    That incident made me think about how (31)A children and adults react to the unknown.To a child,a new appearance is an interesting curiosity and a learning experience,(32)B adults often observe the same thing with horror.I began to realize that I also had been guilty of the same unsuitable reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.

1."Fire!Fire!"What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night!It was a large,old,wooden house and my room was on the top floor.I jumped out of bed,opened the door and stepped outside the house.There was full of thick smoke.
I began to run,but as I was still only half-awake,instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction.The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.The floor became hot under my bare feet.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window.But before I could reach it,one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down.The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes,and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat.Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a doorway in fire,then I put the bundle over my face and ran.My feet burned me terrible,but I got through.As I reached the cold air outside,my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry,I nearly dropped it in my surprise.Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street.A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
She was the Mayor's wife,and I had saved her baby.
